CHAPTER XXVII

Disembark now? Is it jumping into the sea?
The fat man was happy, helped his son to sit up, and teased: "It's time for your kid to wake up, and he almost broke up." For some reason, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the three of them and said, "In this weather, even if you go back, are you confident that you can reach the shore?" "The scope of the storm was very large, we drove all day and night to get here, and if we wanted to go back, we would have to drive at least one day and one night in the storm.
The three of them didn't speak, they looked at each other, and finally the mustache smiled bitterly: "Master, you have said so, what else can the brothers do?" He was a little resentful when he said this, I patted him on the shoulder, and said, "We are in the same boat now, I don't want to take you to death, but since there are risks in front and back, I would rather move forward." β
The big mole probably figured it out, sighed and said: "What the master said also makes sense, even if we go back now, we may not be sure, the second master treats us well...... It's not as good as ......."
"It's not as good as anything, it's just a matter of it." The fat man waved his hand and said, "The Red Army is not afraid of difficult expeditions, and thousands of rivers and mountains are just waiting for leisure." On this ship, there are helmsmen, weapons, and men, what are you afraid of? **Having said, only by uniting and persevering can we win the ultimate victory! β
I secretly applauded the fat man, and hurriedly followed the atmosphere: "That's right, I'd rather die on the way to the charge than retreat to be a lackey, we have guns and people have equipment, even if it comes to more than ten sharks, it can also be stabbed one by one, as long as we ......" I didn't finish speaking, the big mole's face suddenly collapsed, with an expression of wanting to cry, he pulled my sleeve and said, "Master, don't talk about it......"
I think it's strange, my heart said that my ability to motivate morale is already more powerful than that of a fat man, and I was actually moved to cry by the big mole?
Without waiting for me to ask, the fat man gasped and said, "I'm a good girl, shit, I'll gag his mouth to the fat man." "As soon as I was about to ask who was plugging, I saw everyone's eyes looking in the direction behind me, as if they had seen a ghost.
I immediately understood that the situation had changed, and as soon as I turned my head, I wanted to slap myself twice, only to see dozens of triangular things disappear from time to time in the rough sea, like the fangs of giant beasts in the storm.
Shark!
I was shocked, and I was stunned.
Our lifeboats are made of rubber, and although the material is flexible, it will not withstand a few bites from a shark.
The fat man directly copied the gun, turned his head to look at me with hatred, and scolded: "When the hell will you spit out ivory?" I even had the heart to jump into the sea, and I couldn't help but say, "It's not my ...... for this."
"Damn!" The fat man scolded and said, "Not bad for you? Rely on your crow's mouth! I'll paste it for you with cement. As I spoke, I noticed that the shark didn't seem to be ready to attack us, so I wonder if it didn't notice us.
I hurriedly said to everyone: "They haven't moved yet, hurry, get out of this sea first." β
The guy surnamed Nie asked where to drive again, and this time the big mole also kicked him, and said, "Drive where there are no sharks, you kid is stupid." Immediately afterwards, the mustache and the guy surnamed Nie drove the boat, the lifeboat was driven by the storage motor, ignited the motor, and the lifeboat immediately rushed out at a very fast speed, walking in the opposite direction of the shark, just the direction ahead, I didn't care about anything else, patted the shoulder of the big mole, and said: "You go and sail with them to prevent breakdowns at any time." Then I took out my gun from my equipment bag, covered my colleague with a tarpaulin, and then with the fat man and the gray mouse, the three of them lay in the stern of the boat, and the three guns were in the direction of the shark, ready to fight back.
But soon, we found out that something was wrong, the more than a dozen sharks, although they appeared and disappeared in the waves, but their positions had not moved, as if they were dead, I said that it was not right, and hurriedly signaled the mustache to stop the boat, and after observing the same place for a long time, the fat man squinted and said, "It doesn't seem to be a shark." β
I didn't think it was like it, but the dozen or so things were connected together, and with the waves of the sea, it seemed to be some large object, and I observed it for a while, but I saw that the waves of the sea were pushing forward and moving forward, and soon they were closer to us.
I found a high-power underwater flashlight and turned it on, and as the light of the flashlight shot out through the clouds and fog, I saw that not far away, there were more than a dozen wooden sharp corners, which seemed to be parts of something.
We waited for the thing to be pushed by the waves, and then we fished out one, a very oddly shaped thing.
There is a flat wooden board under this thing, and in the center of the wooden board is a wooden board with a triangular surname, and at the top corner of the triangle, there is a round hole made by hand, about the size of a coin.
I've never seen this thing before, so I looked at it over and over again, and was about to ask the fat man what this thing was, but I heard the big mole exclaim, "It's a wind board." β
Wind board?
I hadn't heard the word, so I asked the mole with my eyes, and he immediately explained: "This is equipped on the top of a large fishing boat, mainly to survey the wind, the bigger the fishing boat, the more wind plates are distributed." β
I immediately understood, and said, "Did we have the one before?" β
"Yes." He nodded and said, "There are three on the top, at the corner of the top of the boat, and most people don't pay attention." β
I looked at the more than a dozen wind boards floating in the sea and couldn't help frowning, which meant that not long ago, a ship at least three times the size of our clipper had an accident in this area.
"Unlucky." Grey Rat said.
I also don't think it's a good sign, first Haikui, and now there are more than a dozen wind boards, no matter how you look at it, I feel unlucky.
I was about to say that I would continue to sail the boat, when the fat man suddenly instructed, "Be careful, this ship can have an accident in this place, I guess there may be a reef nearby." The two at the helm nodded, and continued on their way, without mentioning where to go, just going all the way, avoiding the storm first.
Soon, we used the tarpaulin to make a simple shelter at the stern of the boat, and carried the injured Tongzi in, and he sighed: "Master, I was bitten on the leg, and the person is not wasted, so don't come to move me, if it goes on like this, my heart will jump out." β
"Heart beating out?" The fat man said: "Our little naΓ―ve is already famous, you don't have to think dirty." Tongzi choked for a moment, and let out a suffocating laugh from his mouth.
I was a little puzzled and said, "Fatty, why am I now famous?" No, who is the flower? You're a flower for the whole family! β
The fat man poked my chest, with a negative expression, and said, "Of course it's Sister Lin, when I left Beijing and said that I was going to help you, people said a basket of words, so I almost came with my skirt, I said...... What is the surname Zhang, you can forget it, it is still Xiaolin, a person who is more Peugeot, if it weren't for the fat man, I told her good things about you every day, people still don't look down on you. β
I couldn't help but shake my head, and said in my heart that I didn't think about Dr. Zhang, everyone was dead, how could this dead fat man always compete with her, so he said: "Okay, okay, my life's event, my mother hasn't worried about it, what are you mixing blindly, why are you carrying a skirt and coming over...... If I'm not mistaken, it's going to snow in Beijing right now, right? The snow is still slipping on the skirt...... You've got water in your head. β
The gray rat was on guard outside, and when he heard this, he turned around and said, "It seems that it really got into the water." He pointed to the lifeboat.
I looked at it, and found that the thin gap on the edge of the lifeboat was bubbling with dense blisters, the blisters were extremely small, silent, and it was really difficult to find if we didn't pay attention, we always thought that the water in the lifeboat was brought in by the tide, but now when I looked, I found that the water was pouring in from the bottom of the sea, and I immediately felt numb in my scalp, kicked the fat man, and said: "Damn, don't, if you go on like this, don't talk about Sister Lin, I don't even have a chance to marry Brother Jia." β
The fat man and I hurriedly went out of the shelter, and when we got closer, we found that the water had entered a third, and the whole lifeboat had a deep draft, and the three people in the bow of the boat also gave up driving the boat, and after looking at it for a long time, the mustache said decisively: "It must be a Xibei cargo, this boat is going to sink." β
I couldn't help kicking the fat man and scolded: "What the hell did you buy a broken boat, the bottom of the boat was bitten through, why is it that even a lifeboat is Xibei cargo, your pair of tricks are for nothing!" β
The fat man was immediately angry, and said: "You coward, don't fucking squeeze me, if the fat man hadn't bought it in advance, your kid would still be drying his ass on the island." It's certainly not a problem with the boat! β
Not a problem with the boat? Could it be that there is another sea kui biting down there?
The number of fights I had with the fat man was incalculable, and as soon as I finished scolding, I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go into the water and take a look." The fat man looked angry, looked like he was fine, stirred the water with the spare oars in the lifeboat, and when he saw that there was nothing, he made an OK gesture and jumped directly into the water.
A few people on the boat were obviously a little confused, probably confused by the attitude of me and the fat man, so I gestured to them and asked the mustache, "Can you make up for it?" β
The mustache thought for a moment and said, "Give me a piece of cowhide, a bottle of 502, and I can try it." β
The fat man came out of the water, shook his head, and said, "There's a big hole below." Then, he said solemnly: "The dagger is artificial." As soon as these words came out, the people on the boat immediately looked at each other.
I made up my mind and asked the fat man, "Didn't you inspect the goods when you bought the ship before?" β
"Tested." The fat man smacked his lips and said, "But the lifeboat is a gadget that has not been tested, but this is an airboat, if it is broken before going to sea, the gas inside will be empty." In other words, this opening only appeared after we entered the water...... The fat man is very good at weapons, and he said that if it is cut by a dagger, it will never be cut by a blade.
But who exactly will make a cut under the lifeboat? If it's someone on the boat, isn't that killing yourself? Besides, among the few people on the boat, even if anyone has a grudge against me and wants to die together, then if he wants to make a hole in the bottom of the boat, he must go into the water, but after getting on the boat, except for the fat man, no one has ever gone into the water at all, and the fat man only went into the sea after the water leaked.
I pulled the fat man up, and the bubbles in the water became denser and denser, and in five minutes at most, the airboat would sink.
I looked at the boatload of equipment and had a feeling of powerlessness, this time, it was really all over.
I felt that I was cold all over, not the fear of death, but the guilt of bringing my companions into death, and the moment the fat man said this conclusion, the appearance of Lao Hu flashed in my mind, and then there were more dead people, and that feeling was worse than death.
For a moment, I couldn't say a word.
At this time, if you still think that the Red Army is not afraid of the difficulties of the expedition, it will be too much to draw, and even if you unite as one, the situation in front of you is almost a dead word.
I don't know who cut the hole at the bottom and by what method, I don't want to doubt the people on board, these are young faces, there is really no need to die with me, I even wondered...... Maybe the fat man was blind, and the underwater situation was chaotic, maybe it was cut by a reef or something.
But now that I think about it, it's too late.
The people on the boat were very calm at first, but gradually, the guy surnamed Nie began to panic, he looked at the turbulent sea, and actually shivered, and he didn't know whether it was cold or frightened.
The mole swallowed and muttered, "Think of a way, think of a way." Then he went to rummage through the equipment, probably trying to find something that could float, but we were all heavy equipment, and we didn't even have a plank, so how could it float?
Suddenly, I thought of something very important, and immediately said: "Big mole, take out the food and diving equipment, everyone replenishes their strength, puts on their diving suits, and swims forward, there are reefs nearby, you can always find a place to rest, quickly!" As soon as I said this, everyone reacted, and immediately went to get the diving suit, this thing is more difficult to wear, they all help each other, while dressing, while stuffing food and fresh water into their mouths, in just a few minutes, everyone put on the diving suit, put on the deep-sea helmet, and carry an oxygen cylinder on the back, but the equipment is difficult to take away.
In the end, when the lifeboat sank, we only salvaged two bags of equipment, one bag with food and medicine, and one bag with weapons and some essential parts for survival.
